5.3  Getting to Know Your VM-5AD Amplifier 

 

The  KRAMER 

VM-5AD

  is  a  full  spec,  state-of-the-art,  1:5  balanced  audio  distribution  amplifier 

designed  for  studio  and  other  demanding  applications.  The 

VM-5AD

  splits  a  single  input  source, 

either mono balanced or stereo unbalanced into five identical outputs without any discernible signal 

degradation. The 

VM-5AD

 has an audio level control knobs to change balanced or unbalanced audio 

signal levels, it can accept microphone input level, balanced mono or unbalanced stereo, amplifying it 

to a line level signal. The 

VM-5AD

 allows easy conversion between balanced and unbalanced signals 

for  maximal  flexibility  in studios.    All  circuitry  is  active  with no transformers,  thus  ensuring  hum-

free,  full  bandwidth  operation.  The 

VM-5AD 

may  be  used  to  convert  balanced  signal  levels  and 

unbalanced  signal  levels  in  both  directions,  using  the  level  knobs.  A  microphone  signal 

(balanced/unbalanced)  may  be  converted  to  a  standard  +4dBm  balanced  level.  Front/rear  panel 

features of the 

VM-5AD

 are described in Figure 3 and Table 3. 

NOTE 

For operation instructions refer to section 8.
